Flower Umbrella Procession


Flower Umbrella Procession was held today July 24, which is a part of Gion Festival of Kyoto. Around 850 people including young children and beautiful ladies participated this procession.
Among them, I was perfectly fascinated with the beauty of  Geiko and Maiko.






Young children carried the portable shrine wearing the same happi coats and tenugui headbands.


I had a wonderful time to see Japanese beauties filled with red color.



This is part of Ruby Tuesday 2 and Our World Tuesday.
